A cradle of culture

A painting, made in Jind state in the 19th century, depicts Mahamuni Meda explaining the secrets of life as enunciated in the Durga Saptsati. Verses written in Braj bhasha by Mrigendra in the Gurmukhi script can be seen on the top of the painting.Haryana has had a rich cultural heritage since time immemorial. Relics reveal that the region has been a cradle of evolutionary growth and cultural development. It is an established view that a large part of the vedic literature was composed in the Kurukshetra region, which was a great centre for learning of Sanskrit, the language of the learned and cultured people in those days, writes V.P.S. Rao
